As one of the first AI "friends", the chatbot is designed for humans to spend quality time with, having meaningful conversations and fostering deep connections. When Eugenia Kuyda founded the company in 2017, she figured Replika would be one of many choices people would have for AI friends. Years later, they are one of the only ones available.

Srinivas believes that AI will fundamentally transform the nature of search – from establishing a hierarchy of information quality and disrupting business models to teaching humans how to ask better questions. It’s the startup’s flexibility with experimentation and its focus on curating a search index specifically for AI chatbot use cases that gives Perplexity an edge over even the strongest of incumbents.

Believing computers should work more like humans and not the other way around, Adept has stood out for its human-centric approach to AGI.
In this episode, David talks about the moment he realized building a new product (and a startup) was a faster track to AGI; breaks down the frameworks for Adept; and shares his view of a future where AI functions almost invisibly below all software we use.

Fintech company Ramp has always been obsessed with time.

The company has gone all in on AI both internally and externally.
In this episode, Eric talks about fintech’s natural fit for AI; how Ramp has thoughtfully incorporated AI capabilities into the platform in recent years; and shares his outlook for the day when all knowledge work is enhanced by AI, giving people the time they need to focus on creating and building.
